ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look out for your own interests. Take control and stay on top of the little details. Someone will use emotional manipulation to lure you into something that won’t be financially beneficial. Don’t get involved in joint ventures. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get along with your peers. You’ll accomplish far more if you have added support and the help required to reach your target. Timing is everything, and avoiding being short-handed can make a difference. Leave no room for error. Offer concise instructions. 4 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be realistic about your plans. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Concentrate more on self-improvement, not trying to change others. Discord will prevail if anyone’s honesty is questioned. Live moderately and avoid complicating matters. 2 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Personal improvements will make you feel good but also lead to added stress if you go over the budget. Calculate the costs involved before you get started or your plans will turn into a multitude of mishaps. Unexpected problems can be expected. 4 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A prospect will not turn out as planned. Before you make a change, get what you want in writing. A partnership is riding on a misconception or ulterior motives. Don’t leave anything to chance. Protect your assets, possessions and your heart. 3 stars
